College students who take or are considering taking illicit drugs are being urged to think about what is actually in the pills they are consuming.
A new campaign, ‘What's in the Pill?' has been launched by the Ana Liffey Drug Project and three universities - DIT, UCD and Trinity College Dublin.
This marks the first time that universities and a drug project have worked together to develop a drug-related resource for students. The campaign aims to get students thinking about drug use, particularly party drugs like ecstasy.
"With this campaign, we're acknowledging that recreational drug use does happen around Ireland and we're trying to put in place a harm reduction strategy in that context. We need to engage people taking drugs with information like this, which could help prevent loss of life," explained UCD welfare officer, Claire O'Connor.
